I've posted another outdoor-recreation article on Examiner.com that includes a couple of photos of our 16' cruiser, See-Saw. This article is titled "Camping with Rocks."

Bill and El, I really appreciate your approval of my article. Y'all are our heroes, both as travelers on C-Dories--and other boats--and as chroniclers of your adventures! I'll never accomplish what you two have, but it is fun sharing travel experiences with readers who have the adventuring...
